OK - First things first... TEXT is not a MESH!!! It's a derived object with geometry from the text types, the font definition and the extrude and bevel settings.

Once the text is exactly the way you want it, you need to convert it to a mesh and continue doing Mesh-y things to it.

If you think you may need to change the text later, duplicate it to a hidden layer BEFORE you convert it - then you can go back to the copy and change it.

In the meantime, you can vote for my " Convert to Mesh Modifier " proposal which allows for some mesh manipulation of text without losing he ability to edit!
